Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 100:1-2

Psalms 100:1-2. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord Partly, with voices, and songs of rejoicings, and thanksgiving; and partly with musical instruments, as the manner then was; all ye lands That is, all the inhabitants of the earth. When all nations shall be discipled, and the gospel preached to every creature, then this summons will be fully obeyed. Serve the Lord with gladness Devote yourselves to, and employ yourselves in, his service. Come before his presence with singing In the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 100:1-5

Psalms 97-100 God the universal kingPsalms 97:0 follows on from the thought on which the previous psalm closed (namely, that God is king over the earth). It shows that holiness, righteousness and justice are the basis of God’s kingdom. His judgment will be as universal as a flash of lightning and as powerful as an all-consuming fire (97:1-5). Every thing will bow before his rule (6-7). His own people already recognize him as Lord and bring him fitting worship (8-9). They can experience the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 100:1

PSALM 100ALL PEOPLE THAT ON EARTH DO DWELL;"THE OLD HUNDREDTH"This Psalm was reduced to poetry by William Kethe and was included in the Geneva Psalter. The music by Louis Bourgeois is that usually sung in "The Doxology," and it is one of the most popular hymns ever written. Many of the commentators have mentioned this. We believe that Kethe's poetical rendition is an acceptable commentary on the five verses of this psalm, and we are including it here:<SIZE=2>ALL PEOPLE THAT ON EARTH DO... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 100:1

Psalms 100:0. An exhortation to praise God cheerfully, for his greatness, and for his power. A Psalm of Praise. Title. לתודה מזמור mizmor lethodah— This is the only psalm in the whole collection intitled "A Psalm of Praise;" and it is supposed to have received this appellation because peculiarly adapted, if not designed, to be sung when the sacrifices of thanksgiving were offered. See Leviticus 7:12. The Greeks think it was written by David, who here invites all the world to join with the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 100:1-5

Psalms 100An unknown writer invited God’s people to approach the Lord with joy in this well-known psalm. We can serve Him gladly because He is the Creator, and we can worship Him thankfully because He is good and faithful."Known as the Jubilate (’O be joyful’), it is a psalm much used in liturgical worship; but William Kethe’s fine paraphrase, ’All people that on earth do dwell’, has even wider currency wherever English is spoken. Finer still, but somewhat freer, is Isaac Watts’ version,... read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 100:1-5

This famous Ps. (the ’Jubilate,’ ’Old Hundredth’) does not give God the title of King, but its contents are otherwise so similar to those of the previous ’theocratic’ Pss. that it is naturally grouped along with them both as to subject and date. It calls the world to worship God (Psalms 100:1-2), describes Him as the Creator and Shepherd of His people (Psalms 100:3), points to the second Temple as the seat of His service (Psalms 100:4), and closes with an ascription of praise which was often... read more
